Ultra-Broadly Tunable Light Sources Based on the Nonlinear Effects in Photonic Crystal Fibers

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

Since the PCF has flexible cladding structures, the simulation method for conventional optical fibers cannot be used for the evaluation of the PCF characteristics accurately. In recent years, several methods have been developed to improve the numerical precision, such as the plane wave expansion method, beam propagation method, finite element method, and multipole method. In this thesis, we mainly use the multipole method to estimate the fiber performances.
